The lemma, as a botanical term, is often similar to a glume, enclosing the grass flower, and can be used interchangeably. Meanwhile, the husk and chaff refer to protective layers that surround the grains of cereal plants but can also refer to the protective layer around individual grassflowers.

Ultimately, while these terms have slightly different connotations, they are often used synonymously with "glume".
